EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
Happydent,
a
brand
from
Perfetti
Van
Melle
India
is
being
tracked
in
the
project.
The
brand
tracking
was
done
though
a
combination
quantitative
and
qualitative
methodology.
In
quantitative,
a
suitable
adaptation
of
Young
and
Rubicam’s
BAV
has
been
used
to
identify
the
performance
of
the
brand
in
its
category
across
82
respondents
through
online
questionnaire.
Apart
from
this,
17
responses
were
taken
where
respondents
rated
Happydent
and
other
products
of
their
choice
in
the
same
product
category
on
same
questions.
For
qualitative
analysis
of
the
brand,
laddering
interviews
were
conducted
and
Attributes
‐
Consequences
‐
Values
identified
and
plotted
on
the
Hierarchical
Value
Map.
Belonging,
Self
Esteem
and
Societal
Conformance
was
included
in
most
ladders.
These
value
orientations
in
a
person’s
ladder
have
served
as
the
basis
for
classification
in
terms
of
segmentation
and
advertising
strategies
to
be
followed.
With
most
respondents
exhibiting
a
sense
of
belonging
–
to
the
society
or
their
peer
group
to
be
specific
–
as
their
‘value
orientation’,
the
scenario
for
the
advertisement
i.e.
the
vehicle
by
which
the
value
orientation
is
to
be
communicated
becomes
all
too
clear.
(For
example,
based
on
the
fact
that
“whitening”
is
perceived
as
a
desired
consumer
benefit
Happydent
took
the
liberty
of
dramatizing
whiteness
to
a
degree
of
unbelievable,
a
fantastical
exaggeration).
The
BAV
indicates
that
the
brand
is
a
leader
in
its
category,
given
the
fact
that
it
has
high
‘esteem’
(in
terms
of
the
one
of
the
four
broad
dimensions
that
the
BAV
evaluates
a
brand).
Even
though
the
brand
has
low
‘differentiation’
as
compared
to
‘relevance’,
it
is
perceived
as
a
better
product
by
consumers
because
of
its
health
utility.
